Rats! Doesn't look like these will be out in time for ALA Annual which is next week in DC. Cause I could've been one of the first kids on the block to have one....grumble...typical ALA timing.....grumble.

As for the Tony Head poster? I'd go out on a not so big limb here, and say that there wasn't one because:

1) ALA is generally behind the curve with these things - although they are getting better.

2) Because he is a librarian, and they don't want libriarians per se - they want readers.

3) Believe it or not, there are librarians out there that didn't/don't like the character - reinforces a stereotype blah...blah...blah...

Also, you can make suggestions at the ALA store as well. I know many people did for Giles.

BTW - ALA Graphics has a product for sale to allow you to make your own READ posters, in case anyone wants to take it up that way.

In the FAQ section there is an email address given so that anyone can suggest any celebrity to do a poster, so if everyone wants an ASH poster, perhaps a few people sending in polite emails and requesting it would make it happen. Of course, he would have to say yes as well.

NYPinTA I think it'd be sweet if he was holding his partner's first book, "Know Your Horse Inside Out." Their horse Otto (The horse Giles rode in the beginning of "Lessons") is a featured case study.

Otherwise, if we want something that'd tie to the show, maybe Barb & JC Hendee's "Dhampir," the first of the Noble Dead series. Or he could be pulling The Vampire Book, Encyclopedia of the Undead (Completely Revamped edition) off a shelf. (That's a pretty darn big book, so I can't see him posing with it.) When he was doing "True Horror" that was one of the books featured in the vampire episode. (In fact, there's a picture of him @a table with that book; I kinda squeed when I saw that, because I have the same book.) Or one of the scholarly Buffy books.

As for him agreeing, I've got a feeling he totally would. He's that kinda guy.
